This morning, Aleigh Gambone scored a goal in extra time to put Nürnberg ahead of Ingolstadt in the DFB Pokal. Unfortunately, Nürnberg would lose in PKs.

Glad to see Aleigh score her first goal in Germany. #BostonLegacyFC

For anyone who didn't catch it, here's Bárbara Olivieri's debut assist for Tigres a couple days ago. #BostonLegacyFC

Legacy Weekly @legacyweekly.bsky.social · Aug 27

So glad the club is doing this because some of the preseason info has been lacking from the loan teams.

Main takeaway is Olivieri's debut assist & that four players will be playing on Saturday!

Big takeaways from this signing: First NWSL transfer signing, second signing loaned to Liga MX Femenil, signed until 2029 (which I believe makes her the longest contracted player for Boston). #NWSL #BostonLegacyFC

Ahh, that makes sense. Given Boston's current loan strategy, I wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly what they did.

Legacy Weekly @legacyweekly.bsky.social · Aug 18

Oh! Thank you for clarifying, I had seen "Loans may occur...prior to the close of the Secondary International Transfer Window" in the intra-league loan announcement and assumed it would be completely shutdown after the 25th.

Legacy Weekly @legacyweekly.bsky.social · Aug 18

If I understand the new expansion team roster-building rules announced in June, Boston's last chance (until the end of the season) to trade for & loan any NWSL player will have to take place in the next week.

Taylor Vincent @tayvincent6.bsky.social · Aug 18

REMINDER: The NWSL Secondary Window closes in 1 week!

Upcoming:
8/25 - Secondary Window Closes
10/9 - Roster Freeze
